Eye To Eye

We were following a female leopard when she suddenly decided to walk extremely close to our vehicle. So close, that I had way too much focal length to get the entire animal in my frame. I therefore decided to go for a very tight portrait.As she walked by, she briefly looked straight at me, and that's when I took this shot.

Color can be a distraction, and it was in this case, so I converted the image to black and white later.
